Hi JUDDDers. As a newbie (on 2nd UD today), I was wondering how often do you recalculate your allowed UD and DD calories? I don't want to be obsessive about it, but also want to give myself every chance to succeed.

I assume since I'll be losing steadily (like my optimistic attitude??) that my calories will be going down steadily too.

What NoWeigh said. As long as you are losing at a reasonable pace, don't worry about it. When weight loss slows or stops, and you have not changed anything, it is probably time to drop 'em.

After I lost 35 pounds and dropped from an average of 2 pounds/week to .5 - 1 pound/week I reduced my daily cals (DD and UD) by 50 cal. Chuckle, my hunger didn't even notice but my weight loss rate did.
